Introduction

Hypnotic World International Academy of Hypnotherapy offers intensive training by experienced therapists in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. Many of our students go on to form their own successful Hypnotherapy practice, confident in their own abilities, to embark on a rewarding and exciting career.

If you enjoy meeting and helping people and feel that you’re ready for a challenge, this could be a wonderful opportunity to combine your existing life skills with a professional career in Hypnotherapy

Learning to hypnotize someone does not just involve inducing a trance and offering suggestions—there is a wealth of exciting information to be learned and this Course teaches you how to deal competently with anything, from simple habit disorders such as overeating and nail biting, to stress and panic attacks, irrational fears and phobic responses.

The Professional Hypnotherapy Course assumes no previous knowledge of the subject, but will be of equal value to those already in the healing profession. Many students go on to run their own successful private Hypnotherapy practice, others use it for self improvement and personal growth.

You may work through the manuals at your own pace and submit the completed exercise papers which are supplied with each Lesson. Each paper is marked and returned to you with the next Module.

Scripts

Many Hypnotherapists use these scripts when they first begin to practice, however after a short while you will find yourself making your own, to suit individual client requirements.

The material in the Course will prepare you for many of the situations you are likely to encounter during your career as a Hypnotherapist, whether it is helping someone to stop smoking or more complex issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Tutorials

You may wish to take advantage of the personal tuition offered as an optional part of their training. You will be offered an opportunity to hypnotize and be hypnotized under the guidance of your tutor. Further sessions comprise working in small groups as you practice different techniques.

Media

As a Professional Hypnotherapist you will meet people from all walks of life. You may be asked to appear on radio, TV. or to write articles for newspapers or magazines. The Hypnotherapy Association has a Media Team with volunteers who regularly liaise with the press and other media, sending successful case histories and responding to news articles, in order to promote the benefits of hypnotherapy.

Course Syllabus
 

The Course examines some of the concepts of Freud and Jung as a basis to understanding the personality and its relationship to analytical procedures.

The Course draws upon the works of respected authorities such as Milton Erickson, David Cheek and Ernest Rossi and an understanding of communicating with the subconscious mind through the use of ideomotor signaling is developed to deal with a wide range of psychosomatic problems. An introduction to NLP, language patterns and eye movements is also given consideration.

You will develop an understanding of anxiety states and how resolving unconscious conflicts can help clients to move forward. Pain Relief can be achieved through the correct application of hypnosis, as can freedom from addictive behaviour such as smoking, overeating, gambling, etc.

Throughout the Course you will demonstrate an understanding of the modules through papers containing case histories and questions relating to the Course. Whilst it is accepted that there are sometimes no right or wrong answers, you will be encouraged to think around and ‘dig deep’ into the origins of the presented problem.

Support is given throughout and you are encouraged to attend the workshops if possible in order to continue with your professional development and meet others who are working in this exciting field.

Keeping in contact via emails and telephone conversations is useful for when you begin your own hypnotherapy practice as it helps to exchange ideas, news, and keep up to date with developments in the world of hypnotherapy. Continued professional development is considered an important aspect of this profession and we aim to provide this with our informative workshops and seminars.

The student learns when and how to use suggestion therapy and is taken through a course of analytical therapy in order to see the different stages reached as therapy progresses. Transference and resistance is examined and ways of dealing with these problems, should they arise, will be discussed.

Age regression and the issues surrounding false memory syndrome are given consideration and we take a look at the belief of past life regression and its relationship to therapy.

Hypnotherapists employ different techniques when hypnotising children and a special section is devoted to this, with treatment procedures for stammering, enuresis (bed wetting), thumb sucking and other problems explained in detail.

The Course also provides you with all the necessary resources to begin practicing hypnotherapy - including consent forms, press releases, evaluation forms, scripts, glossary of hypnotic terms plus a wealth of advice about starting up and continuing in business—and much more.

A newsletter is sent out periodically, to which students and hypnotherapists are welcome to contribute.
